This is what Hillary Clinton's ceiling would likely be if she faced off against Jeff Sessions:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (D-NY)/Senator Mark Warner (D-VA): 430 Electoral Votes
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL)/Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX): 108 Electoral Votes

I just couldn't see the Dakotas ever going Democratic.

The Dakotas have elected Democrats to Congress. They could vote against a really bad GOP candidate. I don't know if that's Sessions, though.

Sessions would be a pretty bad candidate and his running-mate in my map would make the Republican ticket even more toxic.

My bigger issue is KY and LA going Democratic while somehow WV hangs on to the GOP ??

It is very possible that I won't see a President from Alabama in my lifetime.

Same could be said of Hawaii, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, etc...

Quite possible, albeit for very different reasons altogether.

Assuming neutral environment, Generic D would blow Jeff Sessions out of the water (Clinton/Biden/O'Malley), but there's no reason Sessions wouldn't utterly destroy Sanders in a national election.

Doesn't change my opinion that if Louisiana has fallen for the Dems, WV would have.

If anything, Kansas is more likely to go Democratic in 2016. But that would be a wash.

WV is more GOP than LA at this point.

Agreed. Even with a fairly weak opponent like Sessions, Clinton would still have her work cut out in attempting to win West Virginia regardless of whether she manages a win in Louisiana. West Virginia would be among the last states to leave the Republican column nationwide; if that state is lost, the party is lucky to have won 50 votes in the electoral college.

That's the reason why I still have Jeff Sessions carrying it in my map. Hillary Clinton would undoubtedly do much better than Obama in West Virginia, but would still end up losing in the end. In addition, I might be wrong, but Jeff Sessions seems like the kind of a Republican who could appeal to white working class voters in West Virginia IMO.

He'd really be able to speak to the old Southern white men that have grown distrustful of conservatives and swing them back into the GOP tent.

It's part of the Republican Outreach Strategy to minorities. Just like how billionaires who just more  tax cuts are a persecuted minority in America. Sad

I assume you're not counting Florida as Southern then? And I highly doubt Hillary would lose NC to Sessions.
